TELEPRECENSE REMOTE CONTROL RACES

(Still on going planning for Races.)

The Moon Society Phoenix is still working on the Teleprecense Remote Control races.

Check this blog for details as they develop.

We are still discussing set-ups, rules, equipment and sponsorship rules at this time and it appears that the races wont occur until sometime in the late winter or early spring.

All races will be open to all comers, however, judging maybe bases on age and type (cost) of RV Car. If you prefer to buy your own car and practice for the races, then you will need a three (3) channel RC Car that can be purchased at Walmart, Target or another store. You will need a minature TV camera, a transmitter, a receiver and a device to display the picture from the Car so that you can practice driving the Car by use of the TV System only.

In the talking stages are basic racing, advanced races, and the Lunar Challenge, race heats may be run against the clock and/or one on one or more.

If you have comments and suggestions please make your comments to this blog or send them to me at portercd@msn.com Subject RC Racing.

Demonstrations of the Race Cars will be available at CopperCon32 at the Moon Society Outreach Table.

Space Junk - Debris

The very Real possibility of collisions with leftover parts of previous launches, Space Debris, is a growing concern for our Space Programs. Ways must be developed to decrease the amount of junk in orbit. Collection systems need to be developed, or a way to deorbit the junk, or to vaporize it in orbit.

If it is collected then it can be recycled for the planet's benefit or the Moon's benefit.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with the problem?

Moon Society Outreach opportunity

The Outpost is preparing to deliver an informational program at one of the local Charter Schools, Omega Academy, up on Confirmation by the Dean of Students. The presentation will include the history of manned Lunar Missions. What the Moon Society is and what we do. And it will include a lot of the What Ifs in this Blog and how they can be implemented to make a return to the Moon a Success. At this time the date of the Presentation is unknown, but the Dean is planning on it being before their Science Fair in April.

UPDATES:

Watch for an upcoming e-book on the return to the Moon that is related to the subjects of the What Ifs in this Blog. There will also be an expansion of the Lunar Transport System discription and mission.

A thought:

PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE:

READ SCIENCE FICTION
